I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
Include any files or environmental changes,
Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.
Expected Behavior
These are my User settings, with Function calling set to Native
These are the Chat Controls, that no matter what, Function Calling says Default
My impression is that my user settings would applied to default chats. The model in question is set to always use Native function calling.
Do I have to enable per chat, every time or is this a glitch?
Actual Behavior
Settings not honored
Steps to Reproduce
Unknown
Logs & Screenshots

@tjbck commented on GitHub (Nov 13, 2025):
Default simply means it'll inherit the default settings configured.
